Everyone needs to look at their e-mails. Long story short, Mr. Kirkland would like us all to participate in the language club's Cultural Appreciation week. If you need more information, please ask Ms. Janssens.

President - Lukas Sørensen 

Vice-President - Kiku Honda

Secretary - Kiku Honda and Maren Endressen

Does anyone have any nominations? At this rate, we won't need to vote.

Meeting in session! Final item on the agenda: elections for student council officers

Now that I've made myself clear on what is to be expected of everyone, we need to elect this year's officers since we failed to do so before the year let out last term.

The offices we'll be electing for are:

President

Vice-president

Secretary

and Treasurer

We will now open the floor up for nominations for all offices. You can nominate someone for various positions. We'll vote on who gets what position when we decide to close nominations.

I'll start off by nominating Kiku for secretary.

Meeting in Session! Next on the agenda: Expectations for members of the student council

We'll leave it at that for now and move on because I can't keep you here all day. We have classes tomorrow. Today's suggestions for fundraisers were:

Male athlete Beauty pageant

"Bad" music in the halls

Treat raffle, courtesy of the local bakery

Dress passes

and Jelly bean guessing contest

If anyone else has any other suggestions, feel free to come up to me after the meeting or submit them via e-mail.

Next on the agenda are the expectations for members of the student council.

It has come to my attention that some of you are notorious for causing trouble or have already gotten sent to detention.

The upperclassmen have already heard this, but I'll say this for the new students and the transfer students: Good behavior is of the most importance.

The student council is composed of students who, I hope, want to make a difference in the school. We're supposed to be role models for everyone, but that won't work so well if you're getting into trouble and being sent to detention.

It is also expected of those in student council to maintain exemplary marks in all your classes. If you can't seem to do so, come talk to me and I'll assign you a tutor.

It's equally important for members to follow school dress code.

Let's see.... What else?.. Oh.

Respect all of your teachers. Nothing in this school happens that I don't know of. If I hear word that one of you has disrespected a teacher, you will be ejected from the council immediately. Falling asleep in class is also a form of disrespect, although I will be a bit more lenient on that, depending on the circumstances.

Don't fall asleep in class. Get to bed early.

Any questions, comments or concerns?

Subject: Expectations for the Upcoming Year

Dear student council,

Welcome to another year of school. I hope you all have settled in all right and made friends with your roommates for the year. Congrats to the first years for surviving their first day.

Our first meeting, as a group, will be on Sunday. The time is to be announced. If you cannot make it, let me know beforehand and I will de-brief you on the topics discussed at a later time. I expect most of you there.

Here's what I hope to talk about at Sunday's meeting:

Fundraisers (we need to raise money if we want to keep hosting events for the rest of the school year)

Events for the school year (formal dances I say formal because I refuse to host any event in which I can catch students bumping and grinding. I do not want to associate with any of that. Bonfires, pep rallies, etc.)

Expectations for members of the student council (you hear it every year. It doesn't make it any less important, upperclassmen.)

Student Council Officers (This isn't too important, but we should have an official president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer by now.)

Now. We will touch on this in greater detail when we meet as a group, but behavior is very important, as are grades and paying attention in class. Students that are members of the student council are automatically held to a higher standard than most other students on campus. 

I don't want to hear of another incident in which someone fell asleep in class again and I never again want to hear that anyone in this group was sent to detention. A teacher's inability to keep you entertained is no excuse to fall asleep on them. Get to sleep early.

I hope I'm making myself clear. Feel free to message me back with any questions. See you all on Sunday.
